Chapter 732: Farming in the Last Days (18)
Xu Yin's family also made a delicious meal today.
Of course, this "delicious" is only for the moment. Before the end of the world, few people would think that such a Chinese meal could be called a sumptuous meal.
She soaked a handful of shiitake mushrooms, chopped the stuffing with tender cabbage, wrapped a few baskets of vegetarian buns, and used them as staple food at noon.
In addition, two days ago, I took a piece of frozen beef tendon out and made a batch of strong beef balls, and today I cooked a few and added a few green cabbages, which is a delicious and delicious beef balls and cabbage soup.
Fresh and tender baby cabbage, blanched in a few seconds, just sprinkle a little salt, no more seasoning, it is delicious enough.
When it was over, I fried a fragrant vegetable omelet with chopped cabbage leaves, diced carrots and sweet corn kernels.
Meat and vegetarian matching, both wet and dry, balanced nutrition, simple and delicious lunch was served on the table, and even the youngest baby in the family happily clapped his little hands: "Rice!" Rice! ”
"Yes, it's time to eat!"
Xu Yin threw a beef ball to Niuniu lying outside the kitchen door.
There are too many types of materials hoarded at home, stacked together, and it is too troublesome to rummage, so she simply categorizes them and hoards them according to the room, and the children's room on the second floor is also used by her, and she has hoarded a room of special items for good babies. Everything that is used by the good baby, go to this room to find it.
The children's room is gone, and now the dining and living room has become a good place to play, anyway, there are a few people at home, and it doesn't take much space to eat, the original long dining table is next to it, and a teapot, a cup, a fruit bowl or something, a small round table is installed in the kitchen, and now the three meals are solved in the kitchen.
But the kitchen door is relatively narrow, and Niuniu's mutated body size is too big to squeeze in.
So every time it eats, it lies on its stomach at the door. The little expression was resentful, as if complaining: You are all eating, just watch me.
Xu Yin was embarrassed not to invite it to eat a beef ball.
As a result, this guy was addicted to eating, and a beef ball was not enough to stuff between its teeth, so it swallowed it in one gulp before it could taste it.
Not enough to eat, it raised its paws and scratched the door frame, whimpering in an attempt to attract Xu Yin's attention.
Xu Yin: "......"
If I knew it, I wouldn't have fed it.
I can't see that my good friend has nothing to eat, so I raise my little arms high and want to feed him a vegetarian bun.
But where can the big dog look at vegetarian buns, it wants to eat beef balls.
"Times! Times! "Buns are good times!
"Woo! Woo! "Don't want buns, want meatballs!
“……”
A meal was boisterous.
Sister-in-law Jiang took a sip of meatball soup, ate a blanched cabbage, and sighed:
"The days are really different now. I used to want to eat fish and meat at a time, but now I eat a small cabbage, like eating the most delicious meal in the world. I used to eat a vegetarian bun in two or three bites, but now I chew it slowly, for fear that I won't have the next meal after eating this meal......"
Xu Yin smiled dumbly: "No." We have land, and we can plant it again if we want to eat it. The last time I went out, I found a seed store, and I stocked up on all kinds of vegetable seeds, so we can grow whatever you want. ”
Sister-in-law Jiang hurriedly waved her hand: "I can eat anything, and some of them are very good!" ”
She also said that it would be good to be able to eat enough now, like her, who followed the owner to have meat, vegetables, and hot food, it was really a good day to burn high incense and worship in her previous life, and if she picked her mouth again, she would be struck by thunder.
"Don't talk about it, let's just say that the people who live in tents at the entrance of the community, the three meals are either biscuits or instant noodles, and I heard those people who came in to work today say that the water stopped this morning. If you want to eat hot instant noodles, you can't eat them, only compressed biscuits with cold water. ”
"The water has stopped again?" When Xu Yin heard this, she sighed lightly.
The villas of Oriental Imperial Garden were connected to a direct drinking water system before delivery.
In the extension area at the back of each kitchen, there is a large water tank that can store 2 tons of water. In addition, the property also has several large water storage buckets in case the municipal water is suddenly cut off.
Since she got here, the water has stopped several times.
The municipality has been working hard to make water available to residents as much as possible, but there are often water pipes that are bitten by mutated animals, and it takes time to repair them, often stopping for two or three days.
Oriental Imperial Garden has not been affected for the time being due to the fact that each family has a two-ton water storage tank, and no matter how poor it is, there is still drinking water stored in the property.
And sister-in-law Jiang knows how to plan ahead, didn't Xu Yin carry a few big water tanks home before? It hasn't rained recently, and Xu Yin was worried that the [Floating Light and Smoke and Rain] skill would make those mutated plants more arrogant, so she didn't dare to try it, so Sister-in-law Jiang took advantage of the time when the water didn't stop, and filled those vats with water.
The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is to check if there is no water outage.
If the water is not stopped, quickly water the vegetable fields in the front and back yards, and then wash and scrub, and wait for the clothes to dry and the floor to be cleaned.
The vegetables and rice to be eaten that day are washed and set aside, and a jar of water is almost used, the bottom of the tank is clean, and the tap water is refilled. The next day, change to another cylinder......
In this way, the water in the tank is constantly circulating, it will not stink, and the water at home is also sufficient, and I feel very steady.
I didn't expect the water to stop again today.
Sister-in-law Jiang came back from the self-service supermarket, and saw Niuniu walking in the house with Niang Bao, worried that Niang Bao would fall down, so she kept watching, and later saw Xu Yin come in with a basket of cabbage, and her heart was attracted by the little cabbage, and she forgot to talk about it.
At this moment, she was full of sadness: "I heard them say that this water outage is more serious, it seems that the waterworks broke into a group of mutant cattle, injured several workers, and broke the water supply system, I don't know when it will be repaired." ”
After a pause, she sighed: "We have solar energy when there is no electricity, and we can cook with an induction cooker or a coal stove when the gas is out, and the same is true for those people outside, the diesel generator can supply power, and it can still hold on to it, how can we live this day without water!" ”
Xu Yinxin said: That's because the magnetic field is now disordered, and electronic products such as mobile phones can't be used, so it seems that the power is out and at most it is back to the old days of flashlights, candles, and coal stoves. If the mobile phone can be used, I am afraid that many people will shout: You can still hold on to the water outage, how can you live the days without electricity!
After eating, Sister-in-law Jiang cleaned up the kitchen, played with the good baby for a while, and then took him to take a nap.
Xu Yin squatted in front of her vegetable patch to check if there were any cabbage worms, caught them in a bottle, turned around and took them to make fertilizer, and at the same time was a little entangled: Do you want to stimulate [Floating Light and Rain]?
At this time, Song Haobin came to the door.
Of course, the Xu family had no door, he stood outside the wall and showed his intention, and then said:
“…… Miss Xu, do you think this proposal is okay? In terms of treatment, even if you can't do it, I will try my best to help you fight for it. ”
“……”
What for? Don't think my sister is busy enough?
